Tick Tock

[Colonel Taylor]

Don't forget to credit the many, many spontaneous abortions due to the corporate polluters that "pro-life" cons love.

Yup it's all the cons fault they want dirty air and water. You do realize that's MM talking point 101 nearly 3 months ago, right? Come on get with it vrede.

[O Really]

Capital punishment? No problem with me as long as they'd just take the convicted criminal out back and shoot him. Killing people as punishment cheapens life. Lets just admit we're violent and move on. Current practice? Really really stupid.

"Killing people as punishment cheapens life......" OK, so what does killing people for fun or profit do for this life thing? If killing people as punishment is really, really stupid, why even have laws or law enforcement? Maybe we should live in a society of 'every man for himself'? Sounds like Somalia to me; is that what you'd prefer; a Warlord Society?

Maybe you could explain the root cause of this violent society we live in, and what the cure would be to fix it.
Good luck; Christians have been trying that for eons.

(oh wait....I almost forgot. Vrede and Bungleload says legalizing drugs is a step in the right direction...my bad)

The "current practice" is to convict someone, then spend gazillions keeping them locked up and going through multiple levels of appeal, and then eventually putting them down at midnight or whenever. It would be less expensive and better for all just to sentence them to life w/o parole. Or within a year of conviction, call the horse vet to put them down. Funny you should mention Somalia - perfect and extreme example of life being cheapened by killing. Lots of other examples are around, including gang life, cartel operations, etc. Usually we (the "civilized" people) think of all that as being a bad thing. When we start thinking killing people is a good thing, we're headed down the slope. It's not necessarily a bad or unrealistic slope to be on - there are a lot of people out there who "need killlin'" Let's just not be so righteous about it.

Have to agree with you there. Somewhere in the Constitution, there's something about a speedy trial. That should be enforced with a year's limit, then fry their asses.

Let me see if I've got this...you're saying if we (the "civilized" people) impose a death penalty on someone who's only aim in life is to rob, rape, plunder, and kill to accomplish this, that is a bad thing?? And because we put the low life bastards out of their misery, we put ourselves on their level? That theory is so full of shit and anyone who thinks the way you do is likewise. That's a typical bleeding heart liberal response if I've ever heard one.

So what's 'unrighteous' about putting down someone who had just as soon kill you as look at you?

Appeals court rules against Defense of Marriage Act

...The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is now the second federal appeals court to reject part of the Defense of Marriage Act...

No question that gays make great street entertainers,
Westboro can't begin to compare!! And it's free!!

[Stinger]

So what's 'unrighteous' about putting down someone who had just as soon kill you as look at you?

Well, there's always the killing of an innocent man to worry about . . . that is, if you have any moral convictions at all.

If someone is coming at me with a knife, or has a gun pointed at me, my "moral convictions" is the least of my worries.

Using my description above, what's the possibility of him being an innocent man?

Not surprisingly, you haven't got it. Whether an activity is criminal or not is determined by the law. Killing in self defense in not criminal, nor is it premeditated. Killing a criminal by the state is not criminal, either, but obviously is premeditated. I can't speak from personal experience, but I've read that killing one person is difficult, but the more you kill the easier it gets. No reason to think that would apply only individually and not to society as a whole. It wasn't me who said killing a criminal by the state is "on the same level" as a criminal killing somebody, and I must have missed where anyone else said it. What I mean is, If a private individual seeks revenge on another private individual and kills them, it is a criminal act, and probably one of a violent person. If we as a society seek revenge on an individual and kill them, it is not criminal, but no less a violent act on our part. Nevertheless, I have not said I object to killing criminals. Let's not sugar-coat what we're doing with lofty terms like "impose a death penalty." If he needs killin' , let's kill him and be honest about what we're doing.

BTW, since you used the term, what is bad about "bleeding heart?"

Self defense and government perpetrated execution of its citizens are completely different issues. Please don't confuse them.

"Government perpetrated execution"....Good god a'mighty; what a crock of shi-ite. The penalty for killing another has been death ever since humans took to walking on their hind legs; call it revenge or what ever you want, they paid their just dues; please don't confuse the facts.

So who do you suggest, other than the government, carrying out the deed of execution? The families of the victim(s)? Or better yet, what is your answer for dealing with murderers and those who commit violent crimes against fellow humans? Lock 'em up for life where they'll just get more violent? Put 'em in rehab teaching them ring-around-the rosie games? (oh wait, they learn that fairly quick in prison).

If I kill someone in the commission of a crime, what right do I have to live? Or you, for that matter?

[homerfobe]

He's probably wishing he could; he's turned on. Note the wariness on the face of the Westborian.

Ummm, that's an accurate and nonjudgmental description. You're luck that illiteracy is not a capital offense.
Proofread much? You're lucky that illiteracy is not a capital offense.

Sorry, but I don't have the unwavering faith in government that you do. I'm just not that liberal.

[Reality]

Those that self worship only have faith in themselves.

I guess equal protection under the law doesn't apply to a fetus.

You're right. It doesn't. And congratulations, that may be the first thing you've been right on. Keep up the good work.

The law applies to humans, not potential humans. Your sperm doesn't have the legal right to stand it's ground, either, Reality.

Seems as though goatboy knows as little about the creation of human life as he does about creation of stars and planets. And yet he marches on....

The "law" applies to "life", it's the deathers that try to remove the unborn from the protection of the law...for what reason is debatable, but my guess is just pure evil.

[blackfoot]

If the law applies to "life", not humans, then I just murdered a banana. Please call the police before I do it again.

Thanks for backing up my assertion about you being an idiot and all, and it only took 8 seconds.

You should have known that bananas make lousy dildos. Someone call the cops.

[homerfobe]

I did not know that. Thank you for sharing your unfortunate personal experience.

Try again. You're the one smothering bananas.

[homerfobe]

Nope, just sustenance. You're the one that thinks of them as dildos.

Just putting two and two together. You're talking about murdering bananas; you're the one flying the gay old colors, so when you're lonely....like I said, just putting two and two together.

[homerfobe]

Tolerant and diverse "old colors".

You did mean "intolerant and perverse"; as in the gay old colors of perversion?

[neoplacebo]

Nope, just sustenance. You're the one that thinks of them as dildos.

It would seem to me that using a banana as a dildo would more properly be called banana suffocation rather than banana murder. But I suppose one is just as dead as the other.....
